By Man by Dolce & Gabbana
After all the praise from this site, I bought 100ml off ebay. Got it well at only $230au. Trully magnificent. However, Black Code is similar in one way. I think it's the guaic wood note that's present in both, and to me it stands out. But with the rest of it, it's abit of a maze and really seductive.
I'd buy this over Black Code if money wasn't an issue, but because of the price difference, i'll stick with black code once my 100ml runs out.

Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani
Bought 100ml of this and loved it. Then got 50ml for a birthday present. Very sexy fragrance the women love. Always kept the 50ml in my car to re-apply, the smell never went bad even after 3 months in my centre console.
Just got 100ml of By by Dolce Gabbana, smells very similar, must be the guiac wood note. Because By is a classic fragrance and very expensive, i'm definately buying Black code when my By runs out. This is Great Shtuff!

Emporio Armani Diamonds by Giorgio Armani
Ladies, you may not like this one, but the guys love it!
I went to my friends house one night, she was prettying up for the night ahead. When i took a whiff of her neck, this smell hit me like a buzz, went straight through my body and woke up my good friend Johnson. I couldn't get enough of that smell! All night I kept smelling her neck and hair. Beautifull! Never has a smell aroused me like this one does. Awesome!

Sunset Heat for Men by Escada
Yes, it's good. Just like Perry Ellis' 360 degrees red in the first hour, then it dries down to nothing. Don't know which one came first, but Perry Ellis lasts longer and everyone always asks what you're wearing.
If you can't find 360degrees red anywhere, just go for the Escada.

Idole de Lubin by Lubin
Absolutely stunning! I am a very picky person when it comes to colognes, and always walk away regretting my purchases. But not this time. Got this from Libertine in Brisbane, apparently i'm the first person in Australia to have it.
I was after something crisp, citrussy, with great longevity, and finally found it! The person next to you can smell it, but very faintly, because its a perculiar scent, it will draw them in. The closer you get to the skin, the better the smell! The girls adore it, I luv it, what else can I say? When my bottle runs out, i'm getting another...
Best purchase i've ever made!

Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana
I love it. My brother thinks it smells like Fly Spray though.. i guess if you're a smoker, your sense of smell is screwed up.
It's very spicy aswell, so it lasts well on my skin. Many compliments from the ladies when you're wearing it. One of the best from D&G.
Haven't tried BY yet, but if it's even better than this, then WTF are D&G doing? They gotta release BY again! It seems really popular.

Green Irish Tweed by Creed
You can really smell the alcohol in C.Water. GIT is a completely natural smell and the closer you get to the skin GIT smells great, unlike CW. There is something else about GIT that CW doesn't have. But I dunno... i'm no expert. It just smells better and engulfs the wearer. People will follow the trail to see who is wearing that awesome smell.
But.... I should've bought SMW instead. Damn!

Silver Mountain Water by Creed
Barely noticible in the first 20 mins of wearing it, but after that, it really comes out. Stays close to the skin which is good for romantic sessions. I love the fresh, clean appeal. Without doubt, some CREED fragrances are worth the money. They don't smell artificial or alcoholic, and they last long. After I finish with GIT, i'm buying this!

Virgin Island Water by Creed
Really wanted to like this. A mix of tropical scents sounded attractive. But too much coconut. And very very powerfull. 1 spray lasted 8 hours. I think it will be good for summer. You''ll make many people turn their heads thinking you just spilt a bottle of Malibu Rum on yourself.
Save $200 odd and buy a bottle of malibu rum, tip it into a spray bottle and use that instead.

1 Million by Paco Rabanne
If you're gonna wear this, take some panadol with you. Gave me a headache after 30 mins. Didn't spray much on either.
Gave the bottle to my dad. When someone else wears it, it smells good.

360 Degrees Red for Men by Perry Ellis
After the reading the reviews on this sight, I had to get some. But nowhere in Australia had the stuff.
Bought it blind. Very happy I did. Many compliments from the women. There is a bit of cola deep within, but the citrus is super fresh and it lasts long. I would rate this over ADGio anytime.
The bottle is alittle anoying though, plastic and the nozzle gets sticky. Maybe just my one...

Baldessarini Ambré by Baldessarini
Sprayed some on my chest last night. First whiff is spice and whiskey/cognac. Doesn't last long either, 2hours max. Very mature scent, I don't think it's something for the dudes under 30.

Silver Scent by Jacques Bogart
I liked it at the start because it was something different. Get alot of people asking you what you're wearing. But after a while the power of the orange gives me a headache. It's a deep fragrance that can easily over power the wearer. Use with caution, no more than a couple pumps. It will last the whole day.

L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent
At first, I was a little dissapointed with my choice when buying it, because I preferred something more noticible. But after a while, i really liked the freshness of it. Came across very clean and alluring. But after about 3 hours, it would disappear without a trace. I would keep this in my car to keep going back and re-apply it when I want to make an impression. Worth buying, especially the roll-on!

Fuel For Life pour Homme by Diesel
Awesome fragrance! Very spicy and attractive. Many compliments from the ladies. Sweet, but masculine at the same time. It smells like something you can eat! Great for the night clubs. Thumbs up!

Dior Homme by Christian Dior
Smelled very nice the first time. Then kind of reminded me of a urinal cakes in mens room. Too sweet. Don't wear in the summer, but its good for cold nights.
